This course is designed to help you build the skills needed to work with male perpetrators of domestic and family violence. You will develop specialty skills based on the frameworks and theories that support good practice and develop strategies to work with men who have used violence within their families.
This course allows graduates to develop industry-related knowledge, skills and competencies to work with users of domestic and family violence to effect change. It has been developed with the Queensland Centre for Domestic and Family Violence Research.
